Q

What is the experimental analysis of behavior?

A

a natural science approach for discovering orderly and reliable relations between behavior and various types of environmental variables of which it is a function.

Q

What is applied behavior analysis?

A

as a science, ABA is a systematic approach to understanding behavior of social importance.
as a practice, ABA is the application of behavior analytic principles to improve socially important behaviors.

Q

What is a response class?

Q

What is a repertoire ?

A

all of the behaviors that a person can do. generally a collection of knowledge and skills a person has learned specific to a task or setting.

Q

What is a respondent?

A

The antecedent stimulus and the response it elicits form a functional unit called a reflex. Respondent behaviors are essentially involuntary and occur whenever the eliciting stimulus is presented.

Q

What is habituation?

A

If the eliciting stimulus is presented repeatedly over a short span of time, the strength or magnitude of the response will diminish, and in some cases, the response may not occur at all.

18
Q

What is an operant?

A

Not elicited by preceding stimuli but instead are influenced by stimulus changes that have followed the behavior in the past.

19
Q

What is a free operant?

A

The duration, rate, or frequency of behavior absent of any restrictions.

20
Q

What is the three-term contingency?

A

a concept for expressing and organizing the temporal and functional relations between operant behavior and environment. antecedent->Behavior->Consequence

21
Q

What is establishing operation?

A

increase the reinforcing effectiveness of stimulus or in the current frequency of behavior that has been reinforced by some stimulus.

22
Q

What is abolishing operation?

A

decrease the reinforcing effectiveness of stimulus or in the current frequency of behavior that has been reinforced by some stimulus.

23
Q

What is pivotal behavior?

A

behavior that once learned produces corresponding modifications or covariations in other adaptive untrained behaviors.

24
Q

What is behavioral cusp?

A

A behavior that has consequences beyond the change itself which is important. Its a potential for repertoire expansion.

25
Q

What is a multiple Exemplar training?

A

instruction that provides practice with a variety of response topographies helps to ensure the acquisition of desired response forms and also promotes response generalization in the form of untrained topographies.

26
Q

What is verbal behavior?

A

verbal behavior involves social interactions between speakers and listeners.

27
Q

What is the speaker?

A

speakers gain access to reinforcement and control their environment through the behavior of listeners.

28
Q

What is a listener?

A

The listener must learn how to reinforce the speakers verbal behavior, meaning the listeners are taught to respond to words and interact with speakers.

29
Q

What is an echoic?

A

The stimulus is auditory and the response is speaking. echoing a speaker.

30
Q

What is tact?

A

A type of verbal behavior with the response form controlled primarily by an immediately prior nonverbal stimulus. naming objects.

31
Q

What is mand?

A

A type of verbal behavior with the response form or topography controlled by a current unlearned or learned establishing operation. Asking for reinforcers

32
Q

What is intraverbal?

A

Answering questions or having conversations in which your words are controlled by other words.

33
Q

What is a point-to-point correspondent?

A

Skinners term for a relation between stimulus and response that is in effect when subdivisions or parts of the stimulus control subdivisions or parts of the response, but the controlled and controlling parts do not resemble one another in the physical sense of similarity,

34
Q

What is the formal similarity?

A

Skinners term for the case where the controlling stimulus and the response product are in the same sense mode and resemble each other in the physical sense of resemblance,

35
Q

What is textual?

A

Verbal operant that has point to point correspondence but not formal similarity between the stimulus and the response product. Saying pizza because you read “pizza”.

36
Q

What is transcription?

A

writing or spelling words spoken to you.

37
Q

What is autoclitic?

A

The temporal relation to the primary verbal behavior where an autoclitic can occur before during or ager its primary response but simple secondary must be after.

38
Q

What are private events?

A

Those events that take place within an organism’s skin or are otherwise only accessible to the organism.

39
Q

What is multiple control?

A

Controls can be convergent or divergent. Convergent multiple control is multiple stimuli to a single response.
Divergent multiple control is single stimuli to multiple responses.

40
Q

What is a baseline?

A

the rate or frequency of a behavior of interest prior to manipulation of the environment.

41
Q

What is a confounding variable?

A

uncontrolled variable known or suspected to exert an influence on the dependent variable.

42
Q

What is internal validity?

A

Experiments that convince of changes in behavior are a function of the independent variable and are not the result of uncontrolled or unknown variables are to have a high degree of internal validity.

43
Q

What is external validity?

A

the to which a study results are generalizable to the subject’s settings or behaviors.
